Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer

I have a pair of REL Ti9 subs in my dedicated listening room which is 12 x 17. I am looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers that would pair well with the subs. Searching on my own and watching reviews has made a choice even worse. So many to choose from. I mostly listen to jazz and blues with some classic rock thrown in. I have a good SACD collection and several dsd files. There are no audiophile stores close to me.

Any input would be appreciated.

Have you tried using the REL speaker 🔈 pairing calculator that they have on their website. I think this is a useful tool that helps narrowing down choices.

Thanks for the info on port plugging. I wonder is sealed stand mounted would be better with the subs?

I forgot about the REL calculator. I will check it out.

jern loudspeakers mate exceptionally well with rel in fact they make a damping plate for rel

Sealed speakers are also an excellent option to match with subwoofers.  The issue us that not many stand mount speakers have sealed enclosures.  ATC for example.

I had a lot of success pairing my Fritz speakers with my subs.
